It'd be easier if Markus would suggest certain things, that would help alleviate the stress on him, and give us a direction in which we could come up with more structured suggestions.

Let's figure out what we can here, then we can point Markus to it.
Editing the good Dr's earlier post, we're now at:
Any unaffiliated, non-major, non-feeder league would have a check box in League Options entitled "Allow Purchase of Players by Major Leagues." If checked, major league teams would have the ability to purchase the contract of any player in the league. If unchecked, no player contract could be bought out by these means.
To actually purchase a player contract, one would right click on a player. An option would be listed as "Purchase Player's Contract" and would take you to a screen very similar to the Trade screen wherein a set amount of money (five times the player's current annual salary?) is offered in exchange for the player. The amount of money would need to be large enough to make such offers routinely beneficial for the player's original team.
Once the purchase has been completed, the player is placed in the minors/reserve roster and automatically gets a new minor league contract until he is added to the active roster.
